IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY N 588 OF 2000 BETWEEN: YOU SHENG YU APPLICANT AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION & MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS RESPONDENT JUDGE: HELY J DATE: 4 AUGUST 2000 PLACE: SYDNEY REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This matter was listed for directions before Registrar Hedge on 22 June 2000 and the matter was then fixed for hearing before me at 10.15 am this morning. The applicant was present at the directions hearing and according to a notation on the short notes of order, the directions given included a direction that the matter be listed for hearing at 10.15 am this morning, were translated to Mr Yu by a Mandarin interpreter. 2 Mr Yu is not present this morning and he has not been in contact with the respondent's solicitors. Nor has he complied with the direction that he file and serve an outline of submissions five working days prior to the hearing date. In those circumstances, Mr Pearson suggests that I should make an order under Order 32 rule 2(1)(c) dismissing the application and I propose to do so. I order that the application be dismissed with costs and I direct that the respondent serve a copy of this order upon the applicant. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Hely.
